"PSoC 5LP delivers unmatched 32-bit performance with Cypress's unique digital coprocessors, such as the Digital Filter Block, for signal processing to create high-order, 128-tap filters with no impact to the main processor in a one-chip ARM solution," said John Weil, vice president of PSoC marketing at Cypress. "Our new $10 prototyping kit gives designers the ability to quickly create signal-processor prototypes that leverage the PSoC 5LP architecture's high level of integration between analog and digital blocks, as well as its processing power."

Cypress is demonstrating the new PSoC 5LP Prototyping Kit at the Embedded World 2015 exhibition in booth number 259, located in Hall 5, at the Nuremberg Messe. Cypress is also demonstrating its PSoC 4 M-Series, Bluetooth Low Energy, USB Type-C, 4-PLL clock generator, automotive and memory solutions at the show.

The 4.3-inch by 0.9-inch CY8CKIT-059 Prototyping Kit provides access to all 48 I/Os on the 68-QFN PSoC 5LP device. An additional PSoC 5LP device is provided as a full-featured programmer and debugger with a unique snap-away design. PSoC 5LP also simplifies designs with flexible routing of any analog or digital signal to any GPIO. The PSoC Creator IDE complements the kit and silicon with more than 100 pre-verified, production-ready components -- free embedded ICs represented by an icon -- that can be dragged and dropped into designs.

PSoC 5LP includes best-in-class 0.5V startup with integrated boost, 1.71-5.5V fully functional analog, along with an operating range of 0.5-5.5V. These capabilities open up new applications needing single-cell battery performance and high-precision analog to a world beyond fixed function MCUs. The architecture includes devices with up to 80-MHz clock speeds. Additionally, all PSoC 5LP devices offer Cypress's industry-leading
CapSense® capacitive touch-sensing technology for fast implementation of sleek, reliable touch-sensing user interfaces. Designers can add CapSense touch-sensing to the CY8CKIT-059 Prototyping Kit without any external components by simply adding a header to the I/Os, which is shown in a
PSoC video available on cypress.com. PSoC 5LP devices are shipping today; more information, including data sheets, applications notes and development kits, is available at

Availability
The PSoC 5LP Prototyping Kit will be available early in the second quarter of 2015 via Cypress's Webstore at
www.cypress.com/store and through all franchised distributors worldwide. Visit the
PSoC 5LP Prototyping Kit webpage for the board schematics, example projects and the user guide.

About PSoC
PSoC solutions bring the flash-based equivalent of a field-programmable ASIC to embedded designs without lead-time or NRE penalties. PSoC integrates configurable analog and digital circuits with an on-chip microcontroller, reducing component count and simplifying revisions. A single PSoC device can integrate as many as 100 peripheral functions, accelerating cycle time and improving quality while reducing board space, power consumption, and system cost.

PSoC "future-proofs" designs, protecting them against last-minute specifications changes. It enables firmware-based changes at any point in the design cycle -- even out in the field. All PSoC devices are dynamically reconfigurable, enabling designers to transform resources on-the-fly and to execute tasks with fewer ICs. For more information, please visit
